    I’m just calling out those idiotic cases that completely choke your hardware of air. You want an open front (or similar depending on the form factor) to get a bunch of silent fans in to let your system breath properly. Bad airflow will just cause your temps to rise, which also severely increases the noise.

      Yeah I mean you’re probably right. I think people just downvoted to hell because of how you phrased it.

        I don’t see any wood on that. Personally I had bad experiences with TT’s quality too, but that was admittedly a long time ago with the Shark.

          Yeah I just meant for 200mm front fan airflow, plus all the fan options on top, sides back. But for wood I would grab a System76 Thelio.

            Why the hell would you get that, especially over the Nord? That doesn’t make any sense.

                So American exceptionalism makes you go for the worse product. Really says it all. But you do you.

                  I’m not American, but system76 is an opensource company and actually builds a very good products and their own OS. I would choose USA built also because I’m Canadian and reduces chinese components and possible slave labour. Not sure why you care so much about my choice. lol

                    It just sounds very weird for non Americans to value “made in US” labels so much. America doesn’t actually have that kind of product reputation, except for maybe fighter jets.
